Are you dozing off during daytime duties? Has snoring driven your partner down the hall? Do you wake up with a mouth drier than the Sonoran Desert? You might have sleep apnea.
A sound slumber can be yours with Smiles by Hanna in Gilbert. We offer CPAP alternatives that are proven sleep apnea treatments. We are committed to making your life better forty winks at a time.
Without proper rest, your body runs out of steam and you suffer from exhaustion and mood swings. Simple tasks like driving become challenging. Having a serious sleep affliction can turn you into a zombie and can even risk your long term health, relationships and life. Falling and staying asleep regularly can bring you back to the land of the living.
This dangerous disorder robs you of sleep by interrupting your breathing. One minute you’re breathing. The next minute you’re not. Scary, right?
Three types of this condition can deprive you of your much needed sleep:
With any of these conditions breathing is much more difficult and snoring is very likely. Your breathing is disrupted and your brain sounds off a wake-up call, which wakes you up in time to catch your breath. Then there is commonly snorts and gasps as your body fights to get enough oxygen to try to fall asleep again. This scenario can happen hundreds of times a night. Sleep deprivation from this condition is a certainty.
When’s the last time you woke up feeling like you could accomplish just about anything? Getting enough sleep is key to leading a productive life. If this type of disorder is hijacking the quality of your sleep, there are options.
1. Adaptive Servo-ventilation (ASV). This machine monitors nocturnal breathing. Unlike the steady pressure produced by the CPAP, the ASV offers adjustable pressure. If breathing is disturbed, this machine’s pressure prompts you to breathe normally. Central and complex sleep apnea sufferers are best aided with this method.
2. Airway Pressure Machines. There are a few types of these breathing instruments.
3. Oral Appliance Therapy. Wearing this removable device prevents airway obstructions. Proper breathing can resume. Immediate results come from this easy-to-use mouth guard. A ticket to the land of nod awaits.
4. Oxygen Therapy. Hypoxemia occurs when OSA depletes oxygen levels during the night. Supplemental oxygen may be used to fight such effects. While beneficial, oxygen does not combat other apnea symptoms. If there’s a throat blockade, none of this helpful gas will ever make it to your lungs.
5. Treat an Underlying Condition. Breathing difficulties may end when heart complications, brain problems or neuromuscular disorders are remedied.
There is a vast amount of information on this topic and it’s normal to feel paralyzed by all of your questions and the information you’re finding.
What treatment can yield the best results? Where should you go for more information? Who can be trusted? We understand that sleep disorders can be soul crushing. Options can seem endless when all you want is relief. The good news is that scheduling a no-obligation consultation can be the first step to your recovery.

You don’t even need to have had a sleep study done. The doctor will perform an oral sleep apnea examination and look for any and all clues that your teeth, mouth and neck provide. Then she’ll explain her findings in an easy to understand way and you can discuss your options.
